The U.K. Web site hosted 2,410 live petitions Wednesday morning, when the one-millionth petitioner signed.
Information Week wrote:
British Prime Minister Tony Blair has received more than 1 million signatures on electronic petitions since 10 Downing Street began accepting them in November.
Blair's office reported this week that the e-petitions encouraged people to state their views and engage in dialogue. The one-millionth petitioner signed a request that live music and dance be protected from regulation, officials said during a morning briefing this week.
The e-petition service is still in beta. Web site visitors can view the petitions online by popularity ranking, or beginning with the most recently submitted petition. Two of the top five most popular petition topics relate to technology.
One protests a planned switch to national identity cards. The petition protesting the ID cards states that the cards won't prevent terrorism or crime. Another opposes vehicle tracking. That one had more than 637,500 signatures by Friday morning.
"The idea of tracking vehicles at all times is sinister and wrong," the most popular petition states.

Blair's office announced that the Web site hosted 2,410 live petitions Wednesday morning, when the one-millionth petitioner signed. People submitted 4,391 separate e-petitions since officials launched the e-petitions page Nov. 13. Officials rejected 1,008 petitions for not meeting terms and conditions. Rejected petitions are posted separately for transparency.
Why doesn't it tell you if you haven't accepted terms, or that you have been rejected?!!

Heres some of the most recent most popular... somewhat very genuine petitions, with flawed policies that are being opposed! I would sign every one of them listed below, and I havevery strong support for all, except Royal Surrey County Hospital Guildford I woudn't know about lol
Hopefully they will have an impact
